I guess I'm lucky being here in the SF Bay area, where Silicon Valley is with all its smart people, yes, lots of good chess players here.  Even more so at the scholastic level.  The three hotbeds of chess in the US are New York City, the San Francisco area which covers Silicon Valley, and the Dallas area.

I have nothing against the Silicon Valley, or The US, and this is a huge stereotype, but aren't there mostly tech guys in the SV? e.g: late Steve Jobs, Larry Page, etc.?

i have never heard of silicon valley and chess having any connection.

I've been crazy for years, but thanks for helping to reiterate it. The first step to living with insanity, is recognizing it and embracing it. So many people live in denial, this is why they can't function properly. You have to be crazy to live in this world:

and underneath all that camouflage, you're probably a very decent chap, if only you'd look hard enough.

If you ever go fishing and your aren't getting any bites, it isn't necessarily that your bait and or presentation isn't good enough. It could be that they aren't hungry.
